High-Speed, Low Cost eSATA Storage Solutions for Creative Professionals
Specifically designed for professional content creation applications, G-SPEED eS features a high-speed 3Gbit/sec eSATA interface and provides RAID 5 data protection when used in conjunction with the optional G-Tech PCI Express (PCIe) RAID controller. G-SPEED eS supports multi-stream video editing workflows on Mac Pro and Windows workstations at an unprecedented low cost per TB.

Multiple RAID Levels & JBOD
When used with the G-Tech RAID controller, G-SPEED eS can easily be configured as a RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 or as a JBOD. This flexibility enables the system to be tuned to the required level of performance and fault-tolerance necessary to support your application. G-SPEED eS can also be set up as a software RAID or JBOD when used with third party port multiplier aware eSATA host adapters.

G-SPEED eS RAID Controller Breaks the 2TB Disk Capacity Limit on Windows XP!
Windows 2000 / XP are 32 bit operating systems with a built-in limitation that logical disks cannot be greater than 2TB (2048GB). The G-SPEED eS RAID Controller breaks this barrier with a new technology, Variable Sector Size (VSS). VSS increases the sector size presented to the operating system making it possible to now have logical disks of up to 16TB! No more breaking large disk volumes into multiple 2TB volumes!

Industry Leading Playback Performance
When used with the G-Tech PCIe RAID controller, a single 4-drive G-SPEED eS unit supports multi-stream DV, HDV, DVCPRO HD, ProRes 422 & uncompressed SD playback in RAID 0 or RAID 5 mode and single-stream 8-bit, 1080/60i HD playback in RAID 0 mode.

Two G-SPEED eS units and the G-Tech PCIe RAID controller support all of the above plus 10-bit, 1080i/60 HD playback in RAID 0 or RAID 5 mode.

As many as four G-SPEED eS enclosures can be attached to the G-Tech RAID controller to support up to 16TB storage with speeds in excess of 600MB/sec!

Compact Desktop Enclosure
G-SPEED eS features a compact aluminum desktop enclosure with 4 lockable SATA II drive modules, each with up to 32 MB of cache.
